Texas Zoo ~ Animals

Here are the animals we saw at the Texas Zoo in Victoria with a few odd-ball photos thrown in....

Gila Monster (I think?)

Porcelain Frog
The story behind this is Dawn and I read the sign looked at the frog and actually thought someone stuck a ceramic/glass frog in the pen, it didn't look real...We really studied it before we started laughing and realized it was a living breathing frog...sheesh! The name Porcelain frog truly fits it!

Coati...
I think they should name him clown...he was a clown and really showing off for the camera!


Grey Fox...a well fed Grey fox too!

Badger!

Hibiscus that Michael insisted I take a photo of...I told him the wind was blowing it too much so he reached up and grabbed it to hold it still, lol!

Tortoise!

Red Wolf.
Used to be a native of Texas and they are trying to bring it back.

This red-eared turtle was begging. He was in the duck pond and kept following us around the walk-way and begging...I honestly didn't know turtles could beg...

Ahhh a couple of Baboons checking out a few of their relatives (grin)!

And Dawn where does she fit into all of these photos...I'm not sure...Maybe the head keeper!!

Neat photos! I really like the shot of the fox, and that frog? Yeah, it doesn't even look real!
